so i bought some rep wheels but not the tires yet, which ones do u like?

PureNick

Your choices in that size are very limited. I'm kind of a tire enthusiast so I would have to suggest the Pirelli Scorpions out of all the ones available... they're on sale too! Not bad for such a big tire.

Too bad they don't have the Continental CrossContact's in that size cause that would be my #1 choice followed by the Pirelli's

The Pirelli's are a good choice.

BTW...What width did you get...22x9? 22x10?

SEXYBEEST

22/10, should be on tomorrow

What’s the recommended tire pressure? Does it stay the same when going to a 285/35/22 tire from a 265?

JRHolt

I was considering going with 22" wheels but after noticing the very limited tire availability I decided to go with 21" wheels.

Post some pics when you get the mounted

Here are my Niche Essen M146 wheels 21x10.5 ET45 with Pirelli PZero 295/35ZR21 tires:

Nanook

Very nice but needs lowering,,,too much fender gap..

JRHolt

Don't like the slammed look, especially on an all wheel drive SUV. Kind of ghetto

Nanook

Not slammed but like this........too low for ya ? Down with links about 1.5-1.75"

JRHolt

Still a little bit low for my taste.

I do not have the air ride suspension so to lower it any at all I would have to replace the springs and try to figure out the problem of aligning the camber, especially on the rear. Then the ride quality would suffer as well, not sure if I would like that or not.

Nanook

Oh right...somewhat more difficult in your situation..very easy for me and to tweak just a simple twist of the turnbuckle = 1/4" up/down per rev...but I guess it doesn't really matter..

JRHolt

I know, wish I had that option sometimes

Just had them put on and maybe the suspension will settle a bit but I am happy with it overall the way it is. The ride comfort is actually better with this setup than with the 19" standard wheels i had.

Nanook

Very nice wheels none the less
